My son auditioned and is currently getting his masters at Berklee. We're so proud of him. Just go in and give it all you have.

[@yipyip4177]

i love how the hosts comfort us by letting us know that's it's not that stressful and just relax,, what a comforting message tbh

[@sandman2534]

I remember running into them during my audition. The we’re my assigned adjudicators but their audition room wasn’t equipped with a drum set so I was moved not another room after a short wait. While waiting, they made conversation with me and made me feel extremely comfortable. I can’t wait to see them again during the school year.

[@Imarielvargas]

Only 3 years till I audition for Berklee!

[@RandomVideos4U]

Omg! The fact she said we have a chance to see the sight reading before is so helpful... cuz I was gonna say I can read the notes but my ears aren’t good enough to sing the intervals by reading them!

[@betsygomez4160]

I'm hoping to take this audition after 2 years and I'm too nervous already. I want it so much but I'm not sure if I'm good enough :(
And thats a thing English is my second language...

I want to get into Berklee and accomplish my dreams but I don't think I can sing like them..my vocal range is pretty average not high so thats a downfall and I've never had vocal lessons

[@amatrajagannathan]

Berklee is a school that I have been dreaming of since I was 7 years old. This video is so helpful and I'd really love to follow my dreams and pursue music!
